This place is dope. Stumbled upon it because of the yellow umbrellas across the street that, turns…read moreout, is their beer garden with bocce ball! Cool brewery with a funky, almost hipster vibe. Along with beer and a limited food menu (you can bring your own food too!) they have a lot of records for sale! They even have a setup where you can listen to the records before you buy; very cool. This place is right around from the train station, so if you're waiting to pick someone up, you can "accidentally" show up early so you have to kill some time here (or have them meet you here!) So glad I found it. Will 100% be back!

SERVICE: our server/bartender was pleasant and attentive. AMBIANCE: Small but quant interior, with a bit of a "Hippie" vibe, and a good floor plan based on its small size. Cool decor with Books and Albums for purchase. DJ RareBear was there to take our album requests and the vibe felt just right, especially with great conversation. Recommend a visit.

Suggested this place to my man because he's a craft beer fan. I haven't been here since it first…read moreopened, so I was curious to see how it was now. We sat at the bar, and I liked how spacious the place is. It has that industrial brewery vibe, a large dining room, and outdoor seating. It's also within walking distance of the arena, so this is a good spot to grab food and drinks and or meet with your group before a concert or event. The pizza is thin crust and has a similar style to New Haven pizza. The flavor was great, but I felt like the center wasn't crispy enough to hold the slice up. It made things a little messy because the middle would flop while eating it. We ordered three small pies so we could try a few different combinations. One was the Weekend Special, which was a red pie with garlic, fresh basil, buffalo mozzarella, pepperoni, meatball, shaved Parmesan, and oregano. The small was $27, which I thought was pretty pricey for the portion. The other two were build your own pie; one white pie with basil and ricotta, and one red pie with pepperoni, meatball, and green pepper. All three pizzas tasted great. My main issue was the texture of the center. I prefer my pizza crispy enough that I can actually pick up a slice without everything sliding or folding over. Service was friendly and attentive enough, although I thought it was a little odd that my bartender disappeared and someone else took over without any explanation. My man tried a few of the beers and enjoyed being able to sample different options, while I went with a margarita flight. Overall, I liked the atmosphere and the pizza was tasty, but I definitely felt the pizzas were overpriced for the size and what you get.

Super dark in all areas on the restaurant Antipasto was the best of everything we ordered nicely mixed and large portion full of meats and marinated veggies The meats pizza could barely be eaten because the crust was thin and under cooked so the meats would fall completely off making it very hard to eat Chef choice pizza didn't have caramelized onions but rather red onions but thin with lack luster chicken cutlet and arugula on top Best pizza we had was the Margarita pizza fresh tomato slices, garlic and fresh basil We won't be back due to service and pizza wasn't great They take credit card and have a large lot for parking but can get filled up fast especially if there is an event at the stadium for concerts

There were tons of kids around, it's a kid- and dog-friendly day. My boyfriend and I got two beer flights, which included five 4 oz pours each. Of course, my man had to make sure he had some new beers to add to his Untappd app, so we sampled all the campus-only beers. For food, we shared the garlic Parmesan & herb wings, mango habanero wings and the Not-Zarella Sticks, which are fried pepper jack cheese served with roasted red pepper and Calabrian chili dip. The wings were hot and crispy and both sauces had good flavor. The place is pretty big and our service was attentive. Between the flights, food and live music, it made for a nice Sunday afternoon. I also grabbed one of their experimental beers from the fridge in the shop because it looked unique and I hadn't seen it before. The one thing we weren't crazy about was the bathroom situation. The upstairs bathroom was unisex and had one toilet, urinals and a baby changing area inside the 1 toilet stall. There's no lock on the main door, which made me uncomfortable, especially with men, women, and kids using the same bathroom. Other than that, we'd definitely come back. There are plenty more beers to try, and I'd be down for another flight and some wings.

YES, I have been thinking about those onion rings since last time! The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable, and not all breweries do 1/2 pours and these guys do!

They do have some fun T's that you need to check out when you visit as well, 'cause who doesn't want something to remember this visit! You HAVE TO STOP HERE WHEN YOU ARE IN NORWALK!!!!!!

I couldn't find parking in their lot but it wasn't too hard to find free street parking close by. Everyone gets carded and stamped when walking in at this time of day.

And luckily the was right next to a food court area with pizza, tacos, sushi, and sandwiches as options. The place got very loud during trivia night, and it was nice to be in such a lively atmosphere. Will definitely be back!

Pils was good, not too much bite; dark dopplebock had nice balance and wasn't heavy despite color. I thought Oktober was kinda lifeless and lager was, well, dank ( fine for 420 but not beer!).

Upon entering the staff was extremely welcoming and offered samples of beers based on what I was in the mood for. I must have tried 6 or 7 before I decided on a full pint of their flagship Kolsche style beer called You're On Mute. It was actually so good that I grabbed a 4 pack to bring home (around $14). But truly all the beers I tried were great and they have something for everyone. From sours to IPA's you will like something here, guaranteed. Prices were fair, they had tons of parking, tons of seating inside and outside, a food truck on site, and games to keep you occupied. Chill ambiance but not dull. Highly recommended!
